Chapter 10: Showdown

But when he was really lying in bed, he found that he couldn't sleep again.

Xia Li looked at the stars outside through the window, thinking in his heart that tea was basically a nail in the coffin, but they really might not be able to eat it in their small county.

Even if someone knows the goods, the price will definitely not satisfy him.

It seemed that he had to think of a way back, Xia Li thought about it, and it seemed that only that person could help him among the people he knew.

"How do you speak?" This person is certainly capable of helping.

If it was in his previous life, he was sure that as long as he opened his mouth, this person would help, but now it's really hard to say.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go back to the city in the next few days."

……

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room, and Xia Li, who was sleeping soundly, felt that his nose was itchy, and he couldn't help but touch it with his hand.

Who knew that this touch would actually touch a soft and boneless little hand.

He opened his eyes and saw Shiyi looking at him with a wicked smile on her face with a hair in her hand.

"Little lazy worm, the sun can't get up yet." Seeing Xia Li wake up, Shi Yi sneered.

It's a wonderful feeling to wake up and open your eyes to see your favorite person.

He took advantage of Shiyi's hand, took Shiyi into his arms and was about to kiss him, why didn't Shiyi know his thoughts, and flexibly avoided it.

"Uncles and aunts are outside, don't think about bad ideas!" Shi Yi smirked.

Because he woke up in the middle of the night last night, he was the last person in the family to get up.

"Are they drying tea?" Xia Li asked.

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen tea, aren't all tea leaves fried?" Shiyi was a little puzzled.

Xia Li touched her head and said, "Not all tea needs to be fried. ”

"If you don't get up again, the food that Auntie left for you is cold."

"Okay, I'll get up right away." As he spoke, Xia Li lifted the quilt and stood up with a bounce.

When he finished eating, the sun came out, wiped his mouth and stretched lazily, looking at the busy people in the courtyard.

"Xiao Li is awake, come and see if this is okay?" As soon as he went out, Xia Li was pulled over by the third uncle.

He walked over and touched the young shoots that had begun to shrink, pinched a small pinch and put it in his mouth and said: "The weather was bad yesterday, and there was still a lot of water in the tea, so it is estimated that it will have to be dried for a day." ”

"Uncle, you have to turn over this more, you see that the uncle's tanning is better than yours." He took the tea leaves that his uncle was drying and compared.

"I've done this eight hundred times, and it's still not good?" Uncle asked with a glare.

While saying that Xia Li demonstrated: "The important thing for white tea is to dry, and the drying must be even, otherwise it will affect the grade of the tea in the later stage, and when turning it over, it must be copied from the bottom to the top, these buds are too tender, otherwise one will be crushed if you are not careful." ”

After turning around, Xia Li saw that there was no big problem with everyone's production, and he was not needed here for a while, so he walked to his father and said: "I took Shiyi to the mountains for a walk, and people finally came to visit, and it was boring to stay at home." ”

Father Xia waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go." ”

"Stay safe, don't go too deep." Xia Mu next to her hurriedly reminded after hearing it.

"I know, I've grown up in the mountains since I was a child, and I know where I can go and where I shouldn't."

Holding Shiyi's hand, he walked to the mountain, and introduced as he walked on the road: "Our Wushan Mountain belongs to the branch of the Chuanling Mountain Range, although the altitude is not very high, but the range is very large. ”

"Because there are a lot of wild animals in it that have not been developed, they are all modern, and there are still some hunters in the village who specialize in hunting."

Shiyi was a little puzzled, and asked innocently: "Aren't most wild animals protected now, how can there still be hunters?" ”

"This is a long story, even if it is a legacy problem, as the saying goes, it is good to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, these hunters are passed down from generation to generation, hunting is their profession, although it is banned now, but the top is also turning a blind eye, you can't just cut it all and don't let them live!"

Listening to Xia Li's explanation, she seemed to understand a little, some things really can't be done as they appear to be.

The two walked side by side, like a pair of golden boys and girls walking on the mountain road, the man was handsome and chic, and the woman was gentle and moving.

At this time, Shiyi suddenly stopped and said, "According to what you say, will it be dangerous for us to enter the mountain?" ”

"Don't worry, the outer ring has been cleaned up for a long time, and there are no animals that can hurt people, even if there is still me." Xia Li patted his chest and reassured.

Hearing this, Shiyi's face was sweet, but she still said: "Cut, I don't believe it, don't run faster than a rabbit when the time comes." ”

Xia Li knew this, she joked with herself, and simply continued: "It turns out that you can see this, if there is any danger at that time, I will definitely push you out, and let the tiger eat you first." ”

"You ......"

Shi Yi's face turned red when he heard this, and then he reacted instantly when he saw Xia Li's evil smile on his face.

She shook off Xia Li's hand and said, "Hmph, I'm angry." ”

He knows that his girlfriend is not really angry, according to past experience, this is her way of being coquettish, but he can't ignore it, otherwise he will immediately become really angry.

"Alright, don't be angry, I have something to tell you." Xia Li walked over and continued to take her hand and walk forward.

"What's the matter?"

Surrounded by mountains, peaks rise from the ground, the mountains are lined with green trees and flowers, and from time to time there will be two cuckoos chirping.

Xia Li didn't speak, but took Shiyi's hand with a heavy face and walked forward.

As soon as I entered the mountain, the mountain road was carved out by someone, so it was not particularly difficult to walk.

"What the hell is going on?" Shiyi seemed to have forgotten that she was still angry, and she asked again without Xia Li speaking.

No longer silent, Xia Li moistened his throat and said, "I am ready to resign and return to my hometown to start a business." ”

"Huh?" Shiyi was shocked after hearing this.

"But that's not what we planned before?"

"Shiyi, have you ever thought that if we follow our previous plan, it is impossible for us to be together at all, first of all, your parents will not be able to pass the level."

"You're with me, not with my parents for the rest of your life, why do you bother with this?"

"Shiyi, we are all adults, some things are not what we imagined, and I also want to stand in front of your parents and get their blessings." Xia Li said sincerely.

"But ......"

Shiyi wanted to continue, but Xia Li suddenly said: "I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, you should calm down, I don't want us to quarrel because of this." ”

"Then I ask you, what if I insist on letting you go back to the city?" Shiyi asked rhetorically.

Xia Li stared at Shiyi's crying pear blossom with a rainy face and said seriously: "I will go back with you." ”

"Okay, it's enough to have your words, I came here happily this time, and I don't want to ruin the mood of coming out this time." Shiyi wiped the tears from her face and said.

Looking at Shiyi in front of him, although Xia Li looked distressed, he secretly gritted his teeth and told himself that he couldn't be soft-hearted.

If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

"Shiyi give me two years, and I will definitely get your parents' approval."

Shiyi shook her head and said, "I don't want to talk about this today, you see that the green mountains and green waters here are your hometown again, don't you want to take me around?" ”

She was still happy before she went out, but now no matter how she adjusts, it is impossible to return to her previous state.

"Oh yes, I'll take you somewhere." After speaking, he took Shiyi's hand and ran forward.

"Hey, where are we going?" Xia Li took her hand and ran faster and faster, she couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know when you go." Xia Li said mysteriously.

Shiyi followed Xia Li for half an hour on the mountain road, and just when he couldn't hold on anymore, he finally stopped.

Xia Li pointed to the dense grass in the distance and said, "That's it." ”

Shiyi looked around, but didn't find anything different, he asked curiously, "This place is nothing?" ”

"You'll find out later."

After saying that, Xia Li asked her to stay where she was and not move, he walked to the grass he just pointed to, picked up a stick on the ground, and turned over the grass with a lot of strength.

After picking up the grass, Shiyi found that the original place was not a big rock, and after the weeds were removed, she saw that it was actually a cave.

Returning to the original place, Xia Li said proudly: "This place was my secret base when I was a child, and every time my mother beat me, I came here." ”

Shi Yi looked at the dark cave in front of her and said with some fear: "I can't see anything clearly here, there won't be anything, right?" ”

Xia Li said confidently: "This is a safe area, and no wild beasts will run over." ”

"I'll show you the secret base I used to have when I was a kid."

As soon as he entered the cave, Xia Li squatted down at the entrance of the cave, he turned over the rocks on the side, and finally took out a bag of yellow things from it.

Look at the package is a few years old, and it's full of dust.

Xia Li shook the layer of gray on it and said: "These are all my treasures, but I don't know if I can still use it, I didn't expect it to be there after so many years." ”

Shiyi looked curious, and couldn't help but stick her head over to see what was inside.

After Xia Li sent the package outside, he found that there was a candle and a box of matches inside.

"What was I before, you used to use this as a treasure when you were a child?" Shiyi was a little disappointed.

"Good stuff in there, it's too dark inside, how can we get in without these things?"

"But can this match still work after all this time?"

"There's a layer of brown paper on the outside, and I wrap it tightly every time, so there shouldn't be any problem!" But after all, after so many years, Xia Li didn't dare to talk too much.

Pushing open the matchbox, Xia Li took out a match from it and struck it tentatively twice.

I didn't expect it to be real, Xia Li was afraid that it would go out, so he hurriedly lit it to the candle.

The faint light of the candle was not enough to illuminate the entire space, but it allowed him to see Shiyi's face clearly.

"Come on, I'll take you to see my masterpieces from my childhood."

The cave was not big, and after walking less than two steps to the end, Xia Li skillfully inserted the candle into the stone next to it.

Xia Li missed: "I haven't been to this place for more than ten years. ”

In the corner, he rummaged around and didn't find it, so he didn't believe in evil and looked for another corner.

"It's weird, why is it gone?" Xia Li looked for it as he spoke.

"Stop, Xia Li, did you hear any movement?" Shiyi suddenly stopped Xia Li from rummaging through things, she pointed outside and said.

"Movement?" Looking in Shiyi's direction, although the cave is dark, the entrance should be bright, but at this moment, the entrance is dark, as if it is blocked by something.
